  "account": "DBS Group Research economist Chang Wei Liang suggests the Japanese Yen (JPY) may trade slightly weaker as the government contemplates a second supplementary budget. USD/JPY is currently hovering around mid-158 levels. Market uncertainty over the supplementary budget, including a proposed consumption tax cut for food in April 2027 costing JPY5 trillion annually, could prompt investors to worry about increased fiscal spending at a time of rising yields. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) should stay vigilant for any increase in inflation expectations, potentially adopting a more hawkish stance if the supplementary budget is deemed inflationary.",
